Environmental Sustainability

In India, Siemens has put in place various initiatives for creating a sustainable environment.

The company's focus continues to be on improving operational efficiencies through process and cost optimization measures. To meet this objective, it concentrates on the professional management of the multiple projects that it implements and the risks that are associated with these projects using the latest project management tools available globally.
